These psychosocial factors are influenced by and influence gastrointestinal disorders symptoms in a bidirectional manner as mediated through the brain-gut axis. Recent Studies of brain imaging suggest pathways involved in visceral pain perception overlap with limbic pathways. These data may explain how psychological factors interact with irritable bowel syndrome. However, only limited information has been provided on the influence of gastrointestinal tract stimulation on the brain. We reviewed several brain regions including somatosensory, insula, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortices in response to visceral stimulations.}, pages = {27--33}, title = {Psychosomatic Aspects of the Brain Function in Response to Visceral Stimulation}, volume = {5}, year = {2005} }
